Please help me build this proposal. The deadline is October 3!!!!
I'm wondering if we should move this over to Google Docs--might make the editing part a lot easier??--Carolyn
Title: this must be cooler! (10 word limit) School Librarian 2.5: Getting Ready for Change and New Partnerships
Joyce: Great suggestions. But, we may need to re-frame to appeal to an audience that is not exclusively librarians.
There are several of these I like, but I agree about audience. - Anita
Does this work, gang?
Feed, Tag, Research, Read@Remixing for School Library 2.5 It works for me - I think I can do all that! diane It works for me too - especially with the extra .5 added to the 2.0 concept :-) Judy That's us - always 1/2 step ahead! -d
I like that. I even like Remixing for School 2.5 ;) Also like a couple of the ones below--C
I don't think ...Read @ Remixing... rolls out well nor makes sense -- sorry. Cathy N.
OK thinking about it I agree with you Cathy. I tried a few other variations of Read @ Remix too before agreeing but thought that maybe it was just me. How about "Feed, Tag, Research, Read, Remix @ School Library 2.5" (actually I'm now also hesitant about 2.5 as I see the scope of the presentations? The audience would be tuned into 2.0 wouldn't they, and in our presentations we are really talking about 2.0 not 2.5 - i.e. were not going into search engine technology and the transition to the semantic web or 3.0.
Try this?
Feed, Tag, Read, Research, Mashup @ Remixing our School Library 2.0. I added a few others to the long list below too.
Anyway, if we stick with 2.5, Joyce should say something about it in her introduction - e.g. teacher librarians adding that special edge to 2.0 thinking! Then I would be happy with 2.5.
I like "Feed, Tag, Research, Remix @School Library 2.5" --Carolyn
If I'm going to talk about 2.0 and pleasure reading, I'd like to see "read" in the title. How about "Feed, Read, Research & Remix @ School Library 2.5?"
I like the 2.5 idea, although it doesn' t seem to roll off the tongue as well as 2.0.
We should explain what the 2.5 means in our introduction - I like the idea of presenting ourselves as a half-step ahead. --Anita

Explore, discover, learn, dream and believe that Library 2.0 can help transform your teaching to engage students in 21st century learning. (based on Judy's slideshare, which seems to have attracted just as many teachers as librarians - so might pitch to the broader audience).
Learning without Limits: capitalizing on the power of your information professional!
Learning without Limits: Library without Limits. Why accept merely adequate achievement when breakthrough performance is supported by Library 2.0? - This is a good one. -A (when i wrote this I thought I liked the "without limits" concept -as it allows us to take the conversation in all sorts of directions, I am not so sure about the focus on performance bit - any other suggestions? - Judy) Shorten it to "From adequate to breakthrough in information literacy"?
Learning without Limits: Capitalizing on the power of your Library 2.0!
Learning without Limits: Powering 21st century learning with Library 2.0.
Session description (25 word limit)
School librarians must be ready to lead learning and instructional change in their buildings. Learn how we are re-visioning student research, library service and instruction.
School librarians are leading learning and instructional change in their schools. Learn how we are re-visioning reading, research, and library services for Gen Z. - Judy I like that a LOT! Carolyn Not sure about the Gen z. but I like the other wording and think it will appeal. OK ....replace Gen Z with ..... 21st century students .....MySpace generation...... or anything else that anyone likes - Judy As long as we remember that the staff members we are instructing may be Gen something else entirely! -d That's kind of the point isn't it....teachers have to shift their thinking to address the learning needs of a very different generation ;-) - Judy

Purpose and Objectives: We need to make this sexier (and stay within 250-500 words):
Each panelist, a newer voice in the teacher-librarian world, will describe his or her vision for the library in emerging landscapes as well as changes in best/effective practice in 2.0 environments. (Order is certainly negotiable.)
Many voices, one message: school librarians need to be agents of change in their districts.Whether you've been tech savvy for years or are just venturing into the cyber community, regardless of the tools and applications available in your facility, you will recognize yourself in this diverse panel of teacher/librarians.????? (I like this--Carolyn) I'm hoping we'll have non librarians attend as well and this appeals to me for that reason.
Maybe something fun playing w/the librarian stereotype?
"You won't find us shushing students or filing cards! Libraries - and librarians - have received a face-lift for the 21st century. If you haven't seen our new look, it time to check it out. Each panelist, a fresh, outspoken voice in the teacher-librarian world, will describe his or her vision for the library in emerging landscapes as well as the future of best practices in 2.0 world. "
Suggestion from Judy
What does the Read/Write Web really mean for school libraries ? As we create conversations, connections and a Web 2.0 learning community we are opening the door to a better school library future - one that embraces the digital identity of our students and their multi-modal minds. In so doing, our new learning communities are able to get involved in responsive academic discourse, leading to new forms of digital scholarship and pedagogy. With many voices, we have one message - school librarians are agents of change! Our school libraries have become challenging, exciting, futuristic places, supporting the culturing of knowledge through engagement, construction, distribution and recombination in ways never before understood and only now being realized.
The challenges are there! Whether you've been tech savvy for years or are just venturing into the cyber community, regardless of the tools and applications available, you will recognize yourself and your teaching passions. You will understand the urgency of finding, choosing, using and embracing a rich and immersive library-powered learning experience for your students.
Each panelist, a fresh, outspoken voice in the teaching and teacher-librarian world, will describe his or her vision for the library in emerging landscapes as well as the future of best practices in 2.0 world.
(Judy--I'm worried the first para sounds a little too academic for k12 if we are trying to appeal to "newbies" as well as more experienced--Carolyn, but I like the general ideas a great deal!) (OK, just edit it any way you like to suit the group - you'd me more in touch with the audience requirements than I would).

Joyce Valenza (Introduction & ???)
Judy O'Connell - Learning is a global multi-modal conversation, and it is [r]evolutionary .... really!
??I'm happy to go at the end of the group, being non USA!
(I could talk about creating a culture shift in learning that embraces global connections, disruptive intelligence, and communities of thinking through teacher librarians harnessing collective thinking in their learning communities - with a bit of my 2020 vision for school libraries . By then I would hope to be able to throw in 3D environments as well - based on my experience in my schools and the key role of school librarians in this arena, as we reach out to the world from 'downunder'). Joyce, any other suggestions welcome - you'd have a better idea of how I could slot in with this good group of people.

--I have a couple of ideas--what do you think?
--helping teachers meet students where they "live"--web 2.0 rich tools for instruction and research "richness" and libraries
--role in supporting your administrators and campus vision with web 2.0 tools--grappling with problems/obstacles, access, etc.
--web 2.0 tools for your own professional growth and your campus'growth--but Cathy has that one, so I'll defer ;) to her (delicious, wikis, blogging, twitter, NING, creating productions with web 2.0 tools, etc)
[Good point: we don't all want to mention the same tools. I'm assuming there will be some fine tuning and a more structured framework further down the road, along with time limits, etc. Would this be a small group, break-out activity?

Anita Beaman - new technologies for an old pastime: using 2.0 technology to promote pleasure reading
-- how are authors using 2.0 technology to reach out to child/teen readers, and how can we share their efforts with our students (meeting readers where they "live?")
-- how can librairans and teachers use this technology to encourage and promote pleasure reading among our students
Not sure where I would fit into the order - is this too out there? Most other ideas I'd come up with would overlap with what others are saying/doing, and this is a primary interest for me.
Also - what about schools where 2.0 tools are blocked? I heard that a lot in the 2.0 workshop I taught for Illinois librarians over the summer. Should we assume that if they're at NECC they have access to these tools in their schools, or should we talk about how to work with admin/tech people who block blog sites, wikis sites, etc.?
